I don't believe they have admitted students born physically male who identify as female.

How would you know?

Oh geez people this is not some kind of ‘gotcha’ moment. A catholic school is probably not your best option for a trans kid. If that requires more explanation, you are an idiot. You have bigger issues if you are a trans parent who chooses that education over the thousands of other local offerings. Rome is not changing its tune anytime soon.

Stone Ridge is a Catholic school?

Please don't do this to your daughter. Even if they accept her she'll be the focus of so much negative attention from families who will be able to point to the Church's own teachings for support.

I don't think a close adherence to Church teaching is something Stone Ridge can be accused of.

SR doesn’t need to defend itself re: the level of its adherence to Catholic teachings. If a parent doesn’t think they offer/ adhere enough, there are other more Catholic options out there. You need to do some due diligence when selecting a school. Especially in this area there is no one size fits all. But don’t expect a school to change its level of religious adherence for you.

I'm aware of a couple trans students at SR (born female, now identifying as male). My understanding is that the other kids have just accepted in and moved on.
I don't understand why they are still at SR if they are now male, however. It would seem anti-trans to just kick them out, but it really doesn't make sense to let them stay at SR either. They either want to be treated as males or they don't, and SR is either a school for girls or it's not.

Or kids nowadays are confident (and correct) that gender isn’t 100% binary, and the administration is respecting that.

The kids are fine. I think Stone Ridge is smart not to make a fuss.

It has been litigated, so all single sex schools follow the same guideline. You may base admissions on gender, but once in, you may not discriminate if the child changes. Stone Ridge is not the only same sex school (of any religion) that has or will face this issue.

Which means Stone Ridge should admit MTF transgender students who fulfill their admissions criteria.

It's been litigated and found that single sex schools aren't allowed to kick someone out who changes to the opposite gender while enrolled? I hadn't heard that. What's the case cite?

Our school's policy is that they'll admit you if you are currently female. If you transition to male while at school, they will counsel you out for the next year (they say it more nicsely of course).

I wasn't suggesting it was a gotcha moment. Just wondering how people would know if the school or family chose not to announce their child us a trans girl.

That's an enlightened policy. Actually takes the gender change seriously. By allowing those who identify as male to stay in an all girls school you're basically saying the gender change isn't real.

OP, there was a suggestion that you are a troll who is trying to stir up trouble. Are you there?
